The Church Militant and Triumphant is a significant fresco detail created by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti da Da Firenze, also known as Andrea di Bonaiuto. This artwork is part of the larger cycle of frescoes located in the Spanish Chapel (Cappellone degli Spagnoli) of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Painted between 1365 and 1367, the frescoes were commissioned by the Dominican Order to illustrate the triumph of the Church and the Dominican role in guiding the faithful.

The specific detail of the fresco, "The Church Militant and Triumphant," depicts a complex and symbolic representation of the Church's authority and its relationship with secular powers. In the background, the iconic dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence's cathedral, is prominently featured, symbolizing the central role of the Church in the spiritual and civic life of the city.

The composition is divided into two main sections: the Church Militant, which represents the active, earthly Church engaged in the struggle against sin and heresy, and the Church Triumphant, which symbolizes the heavenly Church in its state of eternal glory. The fresco is populated with numerous figures, including clergy, saints, and laypeople, all contributing to the narrative of the Church's divine mission.

In the foreground, secular authorities are depicted with a sense of reverence and subordination to the ecclesiastical figures, highlighting the Church's supremacy over temporal rulers. This visual hierarchy underscores the medieval concept of the Church's ultimate authority in both spiritual and worldly matters.

Andrea Bonaiuti's masterful use of color, composition, and iconography in "The Church Militant and Triumphant" not only serves as a theological statement but also reflects the political and social dynamics of 14th-century Florence. The fresco remains an essential piece of Gothic art, offering insights into the period's religious and cultural milieu.
